autoup.sh
It was recently reported on one of the debian lists that
slang0.99.38_*.deb had been moved from ../libs to ../base, causing
autoup.sh to fail. Therefore, for a recent test, I modified the
variable definition in line 60 of the script to:
PKGS_SLANG="oldlibs/slang0.99.34_*.deb base/slang0.99.38_*.deb"
autoup.sh v0.25, with the above change, ran flawlessly, but there
is one apparent problem. The last output, before the block of text
that explains what to do next, is :
dpkg: regarding ...//net/netstd_3.07-1.deb containing netstd,
pre-dependency problem:
netstd pre-depends on netbase (>= 3.00)
netbase latest configured version is 2.16-1.
dpkg: error processing
/mirror//debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386//net/netstd_3.07-1.deb
(--install):
pre-dependency problem - not installing netstd
Setting up netbase (3.09-1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/netbase ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/services ...
Starting base networking daemons: portmap inetd.
Errors were encountered while processing:
/mirror//debian/dists/frozen/main/binary-i386//net/netstd_3.07-1.deb
This is disconcerting for an inexperienced user, although it is
not a problem because the last line of code is:
$DPKG --configure --pending
Unfortunately, this configuration doesn't produce any output.
The apparent problem seems to be caused by installing netbase and
netstd with the same dpkg -i command. I thought dpkg would recognize
that both packages are installed together, and not call an error. It
looks like this might be prevented by installing netbase with one
command and netstd with the next.
